My new Intel\n platform boxes don\u0027t even have serial ports, so I question the value of\n messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year,\n and your box won\u0027t have a serial port either! :)\n\n I certainly don\u0027t object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),\n but the probe change seems questionable. That\u0027s sorta analagous to\n rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why\n risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?\n\n It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for\n something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.\n\nMuch discussion ensued and we\u0027ve decided to have another go at all of this.\n\nCc: Sébastien Dugué \u003csebastien.dugue@bull.net\u003e\nCc: Bjorn Helgaas \u003cbjorn.helgaas@hp.com\u003e\nCc: Len Brown \u003clenb@kernel.org\u003e\nCc: Adam Belay \u003cambx1@neo.rr.com\u003e\nCc: Matthew Garrett \u003cmjg59@srcf.ucam.org\u003e\nCc: Russell King \u003crmk@arm.linux.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Jeff Garzik \u003cjeff@garzik.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Alan Cox \u003calan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Michal Piotrowski \u003cmichal.k.k.piotrowski@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Sascha Sommer \u003csaschasommer@freenet.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "cd4f0ef7c03e79f92a883843662e3d0eaae26fb4", "tree": "321429b2ecc1bb9137445b8a8c117fc33b985a1b", "parents": [ "f6f953aa99d456aff44ffdb1c77061d1a010eae2" ], "author": { "name": "Alan Cox", "email": "alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk", "time": "Tue Jul 31 00:37:59 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jul 31 15:39:38 2007 -0700" }, "message": "doc/kernel-parameters: use X86-32 tag instead of IA-32\n\nSigned-off-by: Alan Cox \u003calan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk\u003e\nAcked-by: Randy Dunlap \u003crandy.dunlap@oracle.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "c8facbb62111f9333d00870b0d523f5036822d04", "tree": "7c1206728991e360f360b574c9218f0471982a24", "parents": [ "f53161d1088567dda41094a932f6a16dc0bdae59" ], "author": { "name": "Randy Dunlap", "email": "randy.dunlap@oracle.com", "time": "Tue Jul 31 00:37:40 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jul 31 15:39:37 2007 -0700" }, "message": "various doc/kernel-parameters fixes\n\n- tell what APIC (by request), MTD, \u0026 PARIDE mean\n- correct some source file names\n- remove IA64 \"llsc*\u003d\" (seems to have been removed from source tree)\n- removel SCSI \"53c7xx\u003d\" (driver already removed)\n\nSigned-off-by: Randy Dunlap \u003crandy.dunlap@oracle.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Jesper Juhl \u003cjesper.juhl@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "c99c108ac362f5cc37f79fad7e9897bd9d033bcc", "tree": "95ab1d70136c748a9d951559db0ed34c043e744f", "parents": [ "190644e180794208bc638179f4d5940fe419bf9c" ], "author": { "name": "Chuck Ebbert", "email": "cebbert@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Jul 27 10:46:20 2007 +1000" }, "committer": { "name": "Dave Airlie", "email": "airlied@redhat.com", "time": "Fri Jul 27 10:46:20 2007 +1000" }, "message": "AGP: document boot options\n\nAdd documentation for AGP boot options.\n\nSigned-off-by: Chuck Ebbert \u003ccebbert@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Dave Airlie \u003cairlied@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "67effe8fff32f60bdf51cba484766ba6003005bb", "tree": "8f8bf5ea5d7ddd1679c8a7d46c7219770d7cdaf8", "parents": [ "e4903fb59590f86190280a549420f6cb85bd7f7e" ], "author": { "name": "Len Brown", "email": "len.brown@intel.com", "time": "Thu Jul 26 00:50:06 2007 -0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Len Brown", "email": "len.brown@intel.com", "time": "Thu Jul 26 00:50:06 2007 -0400" }, "message": "ACPI: add \"acpi_no_auto_ssdt\" bootparam\n\n\"acpi_no_auto_ssdt\" prevents Linux from automatically loading\nall the SSDTs listed in the RSDT/XSDT.\n\nThis is needed for debugging.

embedded ethernet ports, which are\nlabeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and\nin the printed documentation. Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports\nin the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1\nrespectively. Many people have come to expect this naming. Linux 2.6\nkernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from\nexpectations). I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers\nhave similar behavior.\n\n\nRoot cause:\nLinux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be\nsorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,\nwhich most often is breadth-first also). 2.6 kernels have both the\npci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter\nis what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this\nklist happens to be in depth-first order.\n\nOn systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a\nlower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2\u0027s bridge is discovered first in\nthe depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1. If the\nlist were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.\n\nA PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily\nexhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device\nlists.\n\n-[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub\n +-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)\n +-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)\n\n\nOther factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of\nPCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate\nthis problem; I\u0027m not trying to solve those here, just restore the\ndevice order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.\n\n\nSolution:\n\nThe solution can come in multiple steps.\n\nSuggested fix #1: kernel\nPatch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first\nordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels. It adds two new\ncommand line options:\n pci\u003dbfsort\n pci\u003dnobfsort\nto force the sort order, or not, as you wish. It also adds DMI checks\nfor the specific Dell systems which exhibit \"backwards\" ordering, to\nmake them \"right\".\n\n\nSuggested fix #2: udev rules from userland\nMany people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always\ndiscovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).\nUsing the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it\u0027s easy to\ndetermine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot\nthey\u0027re in. I\u0027m working on a tool that would allow udev to name\nethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,\nsubsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first. It\u0027ll be possible to use it\nindependent of udev as well for those distributions that don\u0027t use\nudev in their installers.\n\nSuggested fix #3: system board routing rules\nOne can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2\nregardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order. This adds\na significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be\npossible in all instances (witness the above systems from several\nmajor manufacturers). I don\u0027t want to encourage this particular train\nof thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.\n\n\nFeedback appreciated. Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade\nwith 2.6.18.\n\nYou\u0027ll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist\nabstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm. I think\nthat\u0027s both safe and appropriate in this instance.\n\n\nSigned-off-by: Matt Domsch \u003cMatt_Domsch@dell.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\n\n\n" }, { "commit": "3e082a910d217b2e7b186077ebf5a1126a68c62f", "tree": "b4ef4152b8ad0198283e36c74c990f38d90d27b7", "parents": [ "53a5fbdc2dff55161a206ed1a1385a8fa8055c34" ], "author": { "name": "Matthew Wilcox", "email": "matthew@wil.cx", "time": "Thu Sep 28 15:19:20 2006 -0600" }, "committer": { "name": "James Bottomley", "email": "jejb@mulgrave.il.steeleye.com", "time": "Wed Oct 11 13:44:25 2006 -0500" }, "message": "[SCSI] Add ability to scan scsi busses asynchronously\n\nSince it often takes around 20-30 seconds to scan a scsi bus, it\u0027s\nhighly advantageous to do this in parallel with other things.
